Hi there, Evelyne! Thanks so much for sailing by planDisney with your question. It sounds like you have a magical Bahamian cruise aboard the Disney Wish coming up!
When your ship docks in
Nassau, you’ll be at Prince George Wharf, which is the main cruise terminal located right in the heart of downtown. It’s a bustling area, and depending on where your ship is docked along the pier, the walk to the terminal building can take anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes.
There are usually port-operated shuttles available to help guests get from the ship to the terminal exit, especially if you’re docked at a farther berth. These shuttles aren’t operated by Disney Cruise Line, but they do work with the port authority to assist guests, especially those with mobility concerns. The vehicles vary, but usually the ones I've seen are a golf cart-style. Just ask a crew member as you disembark where to catch one if you’d like a ride. They typically accept tips but have no set fare.
Once you’re at the terminal area, you’ll find taxi stands, excursion kiosks, and lots to explore. If you’re looking for a beach day, Junkanoo Beach is a popular, public spot just a short cab ride away. If you're looking to do some shopping, Bay Street is Nassau’s main road and is filled with shops, restaurants, and duty-free options. Make sure to stop by the Straw Market, which was recently refurbished for Bahamian souvenirs, especially the famous rum cakes!
If you’re doing a
Port Adventure to Atlantis, transportation is included. Just double-check the specifics with your Port Adventure host before you head out. For guests needing accessible transportation, Disney Cruise Line offers
Accessible Resort Transfers to Atlantis and Baha Mar, which can be booked ahead of time through the
Port Adventures Desk onboard. These vans include lifts and are great for full-time wheelchair users who need extra support.
And if you'd like a more elevated experience while in port, consider visiting the
Graycliff Hotel and Restaurant known for its fine dining, wine cellar, and cigar-making experiences. It’s a great option if you’re looking to enjoy something special.
I hope this helps you feel a bit more prepared for your day in Nassau, Evelyne!
“Sea” ya real soon,
Eean
